I do not own anything...literally. Here is the list of what I DON'T own:

Tiki is a Xenomorph, which I DON'T own. No Xeno in this chapter belongs to me!

War of the Worlds (And it's aliens) is another thing I DON'T own.

And the Crystal Egg is another thing I DON'T own.

I disown everything!

Machi managed to get in here. Dang it! Nothing is stopping him! And Zerxus is out cold again! Why does this keep happening? Machi moved towards Zerxus and pushed him off the chair. Our owner just fell to the floor, but at least he's alive. Machi typed something, then faced us.

"Things will be much easier when you are all out of the picture. Especially you Tiki."

I hissed at him, clenching Bob. Machi chuckled.

"Yes...so much easier." I hissed louder when he began to approach me. He ignored my threat and continued moving towards me. I squealed and stepped back. This is getting scary. Just then, Melissa stepped over me protectively.

"Stay away! You already killed Muffin! You're NOT going to do the same to Tiki!" Melissa said.

What happened next was fast, but I managed to catch it. Machi swung a tentacle at Melissa's head, but she caught it, thanks to her martial arts skills. Another tentacle whipped through the air and again Melissa grabbed it. But there was a disadvantage when you only have 2 hands and your opponent has 16 tentacles.

Suddenly another tentacle wrapped around her wrist, holding them in front of her. Machi yanked his 2 tentacles free, still holding her wrists. He swung a limb at her legs and tripped her. But before she hit the ground, he threw here across the room. Melissa banged against the wall and fell to the floor, unconsious.

Machi regarded her balefully for a moment, then turned back to me. He thought real quick and smiled.

"On the other tentacle, maybe all of you can prove very useful to me."

I began felling uneasy. The feeling got worse when Machi blocked the Hive Mind. Too quick, even for me, Machi grabbed me and Morphy. Thinmking fast, Morphy snatched Bob away from me and smashed the bottle in Machi's face.

Bob broke in half and the red sauce covered Machi's eyes and beak. Machi gurgled and hooted loudly, dropping us. Bob...I quickly ran to his aid. He lay broken, ketchup flowing out.

"Bob!" I yelled in grief. Morphy grabbed my paw and yanked me out of the room. "Bob..."

Once we got upstairs and into the nearest room, I mourned some more. Bob...he never stood a chance. First Muffin and now Bob...all my best friends are dying! What's wrong with me? Suddenly, Morphy swatted my head. I squealed in surprise.

"Pull yourself together Tiki! We need another rescue!" Morphy claimed. I whimpered and shivered, a Xeno's way of crying.

"Bob!" I screamed. Morphy swatted me again.

"Forget about Bob. Think about Zerxus and what Machi might be planning to do with us. He already got Melissa!"

After a while of crying and swatting, I got over Bob. We traveled back to the computer room only to find that nobody's there. Zerxus, Machi, and Melissa was gone. But I knew where they went, I just didn't know why Machi wanted us. But I soon found out.

YAY! The line thing works again! I managed to get this chapter submitted. I'm still ground for 2 months. I only managed to sneak on because my 'parents' went somewhere and I have no school. Only about 2 chapters left in the story. Then I'll have nothing to do...which sucks.
